The stitches whereby the button, 10, is attached to the hand may be made to embrace the .edge of the buttonhole or may be inserted through the band suliiciently close to the edge of the buttonhole, to permit the reversal of the button. I prefer to employ a two-eyed button and to have the stitches embrace the edge of the huttonhole, which can be readily accornhaving the needle pass eltertons, 15, adapted to be projected through the respective buttonholes, 13 and 14, from one side to the other of the band and adapted to engage the respective buttonholes, l2, in the top in Whichever formthe coller1 may be folded.

The buttons, in the same manner as the button 10.

WhntvI claim'es new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is* A soft fold-collar having a band and a `folded-over top, said top being provided in ,each of its ends with a, buttonhole, said band having a long'end provided With two buttonholes and having buttons attached adjacent to the adapted to be projected therethrough from one side to the other of the band and to engage ythe respective buttonholes in the top in Whichever form the collar may'befolded.
